It is not a secret that just about most of the WWE fanbase has grown tired of the repetitive match-ups, lack of depth in the storytelling, stop-and-go pushing of stars and a slew of releases that saw some favorites like Samoa Joe and Aleister Black leave the main roster due to “budget cuts”. Hell in a Cell is never seen as one of the biggest PPVs of the year and while it has occasionally delivered some great HIAC matches (Usos vs. New Day in 2017 and Charlotte vs. Sasha Banks in 2016 come to mind) it continues to be seen…

Details are still quite scarce on how he passed, but…
Earlier today, Jack Claffey (FKA Gentleman Jack Gallagher in the WWE) took to Instagram to give some comments about 205 Live following the release of about half of the show’s roster yesterday. https://www.instagram.com/p/CQmDzwcLceM/?utm_medium=copy_link Jack was a main fixture of the program for quite some time during the peak of its talent pool and expressed some sentiment for the amount of hard work he and his fellow cruiserweights put in at that time. At the time of its height in popularity and depth in 2018, it was widely reported that Cruiserweight Tag Team Championships were expected to debut, only to never…
2020 was a bit of a slow year for hip-hop. That much cannot be debated. It was clear that the pandemic-ridden world was one that did not pave the way for much music in the worlds most popular genre. Many artists that have dominated charts or remained household names like A$AP Rocky, Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Joey Bada$$, Earl Sweatshirt, and many others were relatively quiet all year. In all fairness, it was the same with all corners of music. However, these 10 albums all kept the spirit going and alive throughout one of the darkest times in recent history.…
8- Man Tag Match At just about 8 minutes, this bout was a cavalcade of signatures and finishers when it got out of the brief starting phases. Bryan took a back seat to this match as Otis, Gable, Cesaro, and Zayn all took center stage in the booking. Quick and effective, but nothing too special. 7/10 Drew McIntyre (C) vs. AJ Styles for WWE Championship This match took a while to start, but when it did, it felt like an important title bout. Styles and McIntyre went at it for a while and traded brutal beatdowns before The Miz and…
WrestleMania 38 was an interesting PPV that entertained far beyond what was expected of the entire show. From Stone Cold’s comeback after 20 years to Roman Reigns cheating to win “The Biggest Match in WrestleMania History, these are the ratings for the show. NIGHT 1 The Usos def. Shinsuke Nakamura and Rick Boogs to retain the Smackdown Tag Team Championships – ★★ This was serviceable, but hampered by Rick Boogs actual injury. Not sure if the match finish would have been different, but probably not. Shinsuke deserves better. Drew McIntyre def. Happy Corbin – ★★1/2 Nothing new here, but Drew…
La Rebelión Amarilla (Mecha Wolf and Bestia 666) def. Marshe Rockett and Slice Boogie vs. Sal Rinauro and Sam Rudo vs The End (Odinson and Parrow) The opening match was just as every opening match should be; fast-paced entertaining stuff to get the show started off right. The End looked true powerhouses, doing stereo torture racks at one point. Sal Rinauro and Sam Rudo played the part of the comedic underdogs well, with Rudo showing off some high-flying offense and taking a mean powerbomb to the outside by Odinson. The Crash Lucha Libre duo of Bestia 666 and Mecha Wolf…
The world that we live in was shook to its cultural core when the worst pandemic of the last century hit our planet. It put a halt to everything we had planned as a species from basic necessitations such as food and transport, but entertainment such as film was no different. The entire calendar of releases by major studios was disrupted and the epidemic caused theaters to shut down in many areas across the globe. While the entire world of cinema was put into a frenzy, a few hidden gems made their way to our screens (mostly home television) and…
Ric Flair came out to congratulate the new NWA’s holder of the 10 Pounds of Gold Tim Storm defeated Thom Latimer and Crimson in a Brawl in the Lou Triple Threat Match At a tidy 9 minutes, this was everything that Tim Storm’s much-anticipated return to the ring needed. They followed the safe method of keeping the triple threat at a singles match while the 3rd man would sell, which was formulaic but allowed the performers to really get their action in. Spot of the night was immediately given away as Thom Latimer did a Swanton Bomb from the top…
In terms of movies that have the most attenti9on, this film has to be 9unrivaled in the year 2021. All eyes were on James Gunn and his brief endeavor onto the DC side following a brief exit with Marvel. that only serves as the first part of the story behind this movie as it is also a soft reboot of the franchise that was supposed to spawn the rest of the DC Extended Universe, and after its disastrous reception (despite a good Joker by Jared Leto) it would have been obvious that Suicide Squad was dead in the water as…
The initial cover, painted by Mariella Angela, featuring Hitler with Westside Gunn’s face tattoos. Westside Gunn added another entry into his “Hitler Wears Hermes” series with this 8th installation and it could not have come at a better time. Initially slated for a release in October, this early release is just the right kind of content to drop as every artist seems to be using 2021 as a year to flex. Westside Gunn is a consistent act, that rarely if ever, strays from the witty drug-rap that puts him in the same category as Freddie Gibbs in terms of independent…
The admittedly terrible artwork for Certified Lover Boy Drizzy has been busy this last year or so following his last mixtape release; The Dark Lane Demo Tapes, as he has been embroiled in beefs, an ACL injury, and the launch of his own clothing brand NOCTA. In between all these things, he somehow got the time to finally release the highly anticipated album Certified Lover Boy, which was originally slated for a release in January of this year. Nearly 9 months later (something that a lot of fans have speculated to be a reference to the 9 months it takes…
Sting looks onward as Darby shook the hand of the Best in The World; CM Punk Best Friends (Orange Cassidy, Chuck Taylor, and Wheeler Yuta) and Jurassic Express (Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus) (with Marko Stunt) defeated Hardy Family Office (Matt Hardy, Private Party (Isiah Kassidy and Marq Quen), and The Hybrid 2 (Angélico and Jack Evans)) (with The Blade) by submission AEW has consistently been the target of a lot of unwarranted hate for their seemingly positive outlook on the freedom of booking, and this was proof that it’s all good fun for everyone except those sourpusses. To be honest,…
